Latent refers to the fact that even though these variables were not measured directly in the research design they are the ultimate goal of the project. However, you do have a number of indicato… Toward a dynamic institution-based view, Distributional assumptions of growth mixture models: implications for overextraction of latent trajectory classes, The integration of continuous and discrete latent variable models: potential problems and promising opportunities, Socioemotional wealth in family firms: Theoretical dimensions, assessment approaches, and agenda for future research, Corporate governance and competitive advantage in family-controlled firms, What do we know about private family firms? LCA is a measurement model in which individuals can be classified into mutually exclusive and exhaustive types, or latent classes, based on their pattern of answers on a set of categorical indicator variables. Latent profile analysis is based on the principle of conditional independence, 22 which dictates that classes be created such that (within each class) indicator variables are statistically independent (ie, uncorrelated).

In doing so, we highlight how LPA can provide additional insight into family firm phenomena when used in conjunction with other methodological approaches (i.e., regression).

In contrast to other approaches for a similar purpose (e.g., median splits, K-means clustering, and qualitative comparative analysis), LPA is a probabilistic and model-based technique, and it relies on objective model fit indices to identify the most appropriate number and nature of the profiles (Meyer et al. profiles) within the sample.

LPA is used for identifying unobserved but distinct patterns of responses to a set of observed continuous indicators in a sample of individuals, and these unobserved but distinct response patterns are known as latent profiles. Do differential longitudinal trajectories of glycemic control exist among youth with type 1 diabetes (Helges… (, Craig, J. S., Mandel, S. W., Stewart, A. (2009). Latent class analysis (LCA) and latent profile analysis (LPA) are powerful techniques that enable researchers to glean insights into “hidden” psychological experiences to create typologies and profiles to provide better-informed community-based policies and practice. Another alternative to Profile Analysis is a two-way MANOVA (or doubly MANOVA). Please read and accept the terms and conditions and check the box to generate a sharing link. (, Meyer, J.

Classical latent profile analysis of academic self-concept dimensions: Synergy of person-and variable-centered approaches to theoretical models of self-concept. The main aim of LCA is to split seemingly heterogeneous data into subclasses of two or more homogeneous groups or classes. LTA is an extension of LCA that uses longitudinal data to identify movement between the subgroups over time.
